Download Genome Datasets from NCBI

Download a genome dataset including genome, transcript and protein sequence, annotation and a detailed data report. Genome datasets can be specified by NCBI Assembly or BioProject accession(s) or by taxon.

The download is a three step process:

  1. A "dehydrated" zip file is downloaded which includes the metadata and the download URL)
  2. The metadata is transformed into a tabular (TSV) file
  3. The data is hydrated (the actual data is downloaded)

The 3rd step can be skipped by unselecting all output types in the Include parameter. Thereby its possible to inspect the metadata prior to the actual data download. Also this allows to use the tool for querying data sets (and their accessions) of interest which can then be downloaded in a second call using the accessions.
